L 441? REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, AuG. 16. EX PARTE RICKARDS IN THE MATTER OF NEV'S BANKRUPTCY. Mr.'CuLuty applied to the Court to supersede the commission originally taken out against the bankrupt under the following circumstance, tht the bankrupt's real name wiis La Neve, when,in point of faizt the commission issued under the name of Neve, I,vicilout the predition of La. A second commission was taken out in the right designation. It was therefore prayed that a supersedeas might,he had, direcling that the petitioning creditors; un the first commission, should pay the costs of the ap plication. • It was stated by Mr. MONTAGUE, that the father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of the bankrupt had, used the name of Neve, as did also the bank rupt; until' he arrived at muturity. The reason that they had dropped the name of La Neve was on account of the grandfather having fought a duel and killed his adversary, when fearing diSgrace„the La was . discontinued. The bankrupt, however, had traded tinder the original name, and consequently the second .commission was legally correct. The Lotto . CnAlccw.oa thought, under all the circumstances, it would- be ton wuch to order a su persedeas with costs, but that it was.correcl to su persede the first commission for the reasons stated without costs. The Lady, whom the stated .yesretday having been . exatnined tespecting the transfer of:cenain stock into her :husba•.d's nanie (in which case the Solicitor's. conduct ,vas animad►erted Upon by his Lordship), appeared this •moiniug to give her con sent. His Lordship pointed . out to her, that he could afford her no relief if she repented after she had given her consent. The Lady declared that she came before the Court with• the fun knowleuge of the consequence, and was perte3ly sansfiel to make the tiantfer, which the Court allowed her to do. EX-PARTE DONOVAN IN,THE MATTER OF KUNNETT . This was an application in the bankruptcy of Ro bert Kennett, a character, of some hotoliety. The petition embraced an immense variety of matter, and went to atled diderent parties, some of whomwere only interested in a 'single tiaosaetiou out of . the .ast inultimde detailed in the petition. After hearing Mr. HART at great length, in sup- Pure of the yeti ion, Tice LORD CH P r4cELLOR declared it to be-his opi nion, that it was so multifarious in its nature that it could not 'possibly be entertained in its present shape, as agiinst the prisons with tespett to - whom, in one solitary transaction of Some magnitude; re lief was sought. Had relief been souL;ht, in such tl case, by Kill, it must immediately have been missed, on account of its muituarinus nature: His Lordship Was bound to pursue a similar line of pro ceeding in a petition where g- lochs of the matter was inapplicable to the charge made against the in dividual party, and hr., Of course, must, in defend ing himself, be exroSed to nine times more expence than be ought regularly to incur. •His Lordship; therefore. must, as to this patty, dismiss the peti tion with costs; without prejudice to an amended peition 'on that specific. point. • The petition, however, 'it was agreed should lie over, generally. • • • F- PAWNBROKERS.—A case bf Some' importance to pawnbrokers, and those connected with them, was argued last week before . the Magistrates at Bow street. A laWnbroker; whose premises were re cently destroyed by fire; was sninmoned .to'shew cause why he should not pay the'dhletence between thereat value of an •article pledged with him, and which had' been destroyed in the contiagrOon, and the sum adually advanced on it at ,the tithe it was pledged.—On the part of the pawnbroker, it was contended, that be was not liable to makegOod loSs by fire 'without a specific contrast for ti , at purpose, and ins support of this reasoning, the rules regi.dating the contrasts between pawnbrokers and the insur - - ance offices %titre produced, by which the pawn broker is required not to insute, his stock for its full value, bUt only to the amount of the money actu ally advai ced by him upon the variOds articles in his poise . ssion. After a full hearing, the Magistrate, determined that the pawnbroker is not liable to make good 'losses arising from fire. CARLiAB, AUG. 4.—ln the course of this week the Paivnbrokers in this 'city have been handsomely scourged by a Mr. Stolewell, from London.. He is a of great notoriety in the met ropolis, and has waged open War - against the impositions of the Pawnbwkers 'in all parts at the kingdom. There are no less than 3000 infortnations pending at this time before the Magistrates in ,Manchester; ,and having received Mformation that 'in Carlise pledges Were not redeemable according to the prescribed allowance of the Ad of Parliament, he st.*t a de - - tachment of his, scOuts, who have 'pledged and re deemed a variety of aiticles .within the last - fort.- night, and, the Pawnbrokers unfortunately charged more per centage than is allowed by law.. infor mations were accordingly made before' the Mayor, and fines inflicted• on the, several a offenders, to the amount of tl2l. • Mr. Stolewell produced letter from Mr. Colquboun, the Polite Magistrate, stating, that he had been of infinite service in repressing the shameful exaaions of Pawnbrokers. in London, and that, by his vigilance and activity, he had ex hausted the Pawnbrokers' capital of 10,0001. which they had exclusively - set apart to defend themselves against ail law-suits and informations. During the battle of Almeida, a Party of th e French were pursued into a plain by half a score men belonging, to one of the English rifle corps; the former had expended all their ammunition, and,. in order to defend themselves, hurled a (leant ty of stones at our countrymen, who, with the greatest coolness; laid down their arms, and without lay, returned the compliment,_ with interest. Thus situated, a body of French. troops came up to the as sistance of their comrades, when our brave fellows retreated into a wood, from which, however, hav ing been reinforced, they shortly-sallied, and attack ing the combined body, they soon obliged them to decamp. HOME CIRCUIT. ESSEX ASSIZES, CHELMSFORD, 13. 'JAM MOND V. CHURCH. This was a Special Jury cause, which occupied nearly the whole morning ; it was an action for ,t 71. 15s. but the real questipn in the cause was, whey her two fieldi, called White Pits, were eopyipald of the Ma;tor of Longhant, or whether they were free hold property. As the cause was protratted •to a great le►►gth, and appeared as it it would-.oceupy much greater time, it was at length agreed to refer all the title deeds to a Profesioual Gentleman, who wastodecide between the parties... PERRY V. BROWNE This was an action of trespass, for breaking and entering the plaintiff's house, .at Billericay, in this county ) and making a great. noise and disturbance, and taking away divers goods and chatiels. By the evidence it appeared, thai the plaintiff kept a, basket-maker's shop at Billericay, and that an old , k. ()man lodged at his . house, of the name of Ca therine Browne, a relative of the defendant. In May last she died; aid Browne, the defendant, was de termined to have all her, personals, fur which pur pose I e came in his cirrrage; with his waggon in ittenda'nce, entered the plaintiffs house, and carried oft theprop,:ity of the deetased, consisting of a joint stock. ae oid red petticoat, beater hat, a stump bedstead, and dtv,ls other articles of equil Vor the plain.iff, it a . as, endeavoured to be shewn in evidence, that the deceased had felt such anger at her heir for aukwardness ,hewn 16 her'durin her life, that she had determined to disin.iei it 'Nine, and accordinOY the village schoolmaster was put into toe witness boX,,who proved that, a will produced was written by .him . .from . her dittation, in w hich she bequeathed tier red petticoat to the pHiniff'S wife aid after some other valuable legacies,`she !wade the plaintiff residuary legatee of- the, stump bedstead and joint stool. It was . also proved that the defendant in his haste carried off some old shoes, the property of a cobler, who lodged in an adjoining room ; but on discovering his mistake,. he returned these articles the next day. The LORD CHIEF BARON Observed,. that ..neither party had proved 'en) , right to the old woman's pro perty, as there tva, no probate of any-will or any levers of administration. A trespass was proved, and they would. say, hOw much damage had been done.—=Verdict for the plain 41--' 7 Datnagess 51. . CRIMINAL SIDE. Marks Don was coniiacd of stealing a cart horse, the property of 'James: Goodeie Sparrow, of Goifield., Richard Corday was indiEted for stealing six pieces of wood,, the property of the King; 'the pri soner was Deputy 'Woodward of the Royal Forest of Waithatn, and had sold the wood in question to a carpenter, recently after a sale had taken place of some refuse-wood of the forest, by order of Lord Glenbervie, the SurVeyot-General of , Woods and Forests. Upon being charged with the fraud, he said one Byrne, who 'was his Head Woodward, had given him the wood in question, to m ;ke up the de ficiency which had o:.curred in a lot sold -in the sale, and tor which he bud paid the -money to the Audioneer. ilyrne tieing called, denied this altogether; and the Auctior:s!er, though ke admitted that the prisoner had laid hitm, the :deficiency of the lot in ,question, de. ie.d his knowledge of arty arrange -I;et %%vet] Byrne at;cl.- the prisoner oti the snbje&. . • 4 • • • Jury found. the prisoner Guilty, and Lord ELLENBOROUGH, after 'conitti, , ntirig mmne length, and with considerable several, on tne nature of •I he offence, which' was carried on .to an enormous ex tent in the Royal Fiire:,t, • s(Hritenced tiie prisoner to two years confinement in the gaol. • Adinital' Flotvey, Mr. •Raikes, and several other iVlagistrates and Ciergy tnen of the county, gave him an excellent character for honesty and good conduct for the' last 30 years. • „ It is said that in the County of Lancaster, distin guished as it is tor its extent, numerous population, ai.d great manufaauring interests, not one local bank-note has ever b,..en issued, nor any .noteS.bnt those of the Bank of England been in Circulation. . . A CALEDONIAN COURTSH IP.---The. following anecdote is communicated to us by a Cot respondent, from Edinburgh ; it exhibits the true idiculqm sublime, nd is as veritable as it is laughable.—A son . of niedicine, cliMacierically verging, having purs'e as well as person in perso,:k,-tive, breathed out . .. his amorous sighs to the daughter of a:Scotch Peer.— The Lady, prone to jocularity, serrated to listen to his suit, solely I,r the reception of that, entertain ment which grey-haired folly pioduco in assuming the charaetelistics of juvenility. The DoLtor; one day was to pay a visit in form to' the goddess of his idolatry ;.on this occasion lie Was determined to be as Adonis-like in' habilime n t s ' as possible. It is . quisite to be known that . the Donor was a man who scorned to be thought of the sea Of Peripateli:s ; when he appeared it was in the equestrian style, and his steed, in lack of fle'sn, and she,w ot pssifica lion, paced in singularity. ,On such an important event as the present., resolving to be cleanly, he took an immaculate shirt,. 'and put it, not on, but in his pocket, prudently considering, that inthe.ac tion of riding',. its purity might be tarnished :--to prevent this, he resolved-to put it on when he should come within a small- distance of th'e scene of his wishes. When arrived at the settled distance, the. Doctor proceeded to disrobe himself of his upper garments, still sitting on his horse; his hat, Wig; coat, and waistcoat, were taken off, and laid upon the pummel of the saddle. In thiS critical moment, malignant fate reigning, his faithful Pegasus receiv , ed. a fright from somewhat on 'the road ! 'Off sat Bosinante with the Doctor in •denzi-nudity, and ran with.him (instinctively knoWing, from frequency in going,-his master's destination) to the door of the very house he had hoped to enter with every minu tia of dress adjusted. His Quixotte-like aPpearance: threw. the family into such paroxysMs•of laughter, as precluded the operation of speech, or the means of assisting'the distressed, Doctor. Y S,IIZ ES, Like Might, aged 11, was thciged with field- niously.kitling. anti saying • Tattliew Anderson ; ari apprentice of William Wright, the lathcr of Ale prisoner, by stabbing hire in the lett, side will, a knife, of which woun d he almoit instautly ex= pined.

Rotherhairj, shoe-maker,. andlather of the prisoner. On the sth of April, ab,iut nine wdock in the morning,. the witness, Luke Wright (the pti..kner), and Matthew Anderson ((he deceased), were wonking in the same - room,' when a (JO trrel took place. between - the • prisoner and the &teased, which originated in the lattr taking from the prri. soner's seat 'a tool Used in . their . business, cal.d a copperas stick, the prisoner insisted that he shot:4 not have it, and got up trom.his seat, and took it from deceased: Ander , on'immediately folLiwed the piisoner to his seat, pushed him dOwn upoit it, and tell upon him. Prisoner - had at this time a pinted knife, in his hand, which he had been Usin4 in parm ; snot •soles; witness_saw him flourish the knife, but id'not see it enter the-body of the deceaed. Witness, wh.en he saw this, got a t , and ru'ato-wat.d- then, but An- &mon immediately started up, screamed out, and ran :down stairs: Witness followed hint itn- - mediately, his clothes hid already been taken otr i and he saw the wound, which..wa 4 on his Jett He died in about 20 minutes. The deceased' and the pris.oner had al s been upon good terms. 'rills wiviess stated, in his'examinafion :before the Coro.: tier, that he saw the knife enter the boAy of the de-, ceased; on being questioned tly his Lordship, as to the cause of this variation in his.evidence ; , he said he was then under the influence, of terror, but what he il.rd now staled - Was the troth. Nlark Wright he was brother to th e p r i so n- r , and described the quarrel in . the Same tetdis as the preceding winless ; . tie state,i that he also saw the knife in his b'other's hand, when;Ander-•on and his brother were doWn together upon his bro . her's seat, but he woukl not admit that he saw him stab it into • the deceased ; he stated that Anderson stared up al- most immediately, screamed, and ran down str,irs.— . Witness said the knife was left on his brother's seat / but lie did not look ,at .it,, nor did he remember whether his brother said any thing to him upon the • subjea'.; the next ttmelie saw ( \ he - knife was at the College, the pace where the inquest was taken, hut it was then clean. Both these . _ %:itnes,,es gave their iestunony with evident r e luM ance . _ - Mr. Turner, Surgeon, of Rotherham, described the nature of the wound :—The instrument had en tered immediately:belOw the blade of the skrilder, and had penetrated an inch and. a half into the lungs. The boy lived about five minutes after he arrived, which wa g s almost immediately after the acei(!ent. I'he wound appeared to have been infiided with a Sharp and pointed instrument, and he had no mati= ner of doubt but that wound was the occasion of his' John Hudson, uho is. a constilble, produced a knife, which was given to,birn bY the prisoner's fl-. 4 ther ; it , was not stained With blood.' The clothes of the deceased were also produceJ.7-There was a cut in the shirt, and also in waistcoat, occa-. sibned by the knife, but all traces at blood had been washed out. • , His L . ordship, in his observations to the Jury, said ; it was evident ihe dexh of the . deceased had been ocasione3 by the prisoner, <nd . I.l‘ niess tiie Jury could believe he was acting ib !ts Own :nece,isary selt-dtfmce, and which he oinkt suggest to them 'as 'a serious' question, they mus. find th!~ prisoner guiltrof the crime imputed to him, namely, that ct wanslaughtet. • 'file Jury found the prisoner Guilty,' and his Lord,hip, atter a very solemn admonihon on the danger of giving way to intemperate irans;:orts of pas;ion, s,ntenced him to be Oned one shilling, and be imprisoned for two months. Mr: CURWEN, of Workington Hall, Member for Carlisle, keeps on his farm, at the Schoose, twenty five cows, chiefly Holderness, which . enables him to sell tr‘t twelve Months, in the town of, Workington, more than 100,000 quarts of milk. ' Allowing suffi cient for-,their support, each cow will leav e hi m a profit of 2 . 01; per annum.
